I have never posted a review but I was so moved and blown away by Nicole, her teaching, her philosophy, her knowledge and her talent — that I decided to do so. I was traveling on business last week and when I learned I would be there for 5 days – I decided to use the opportunity to jump start some self care. Like several other reviewers, I am so very grateful that I reached out to Third Eye. I was huber-motivated to fit in as many sessions as possible (in five days) amidst a hectic work schedule because once I went to the first session with Nicole, I just didn’t want to miss any of my finite time with her. I achieved at least 3 new self discoveries that have alluded me over the past year and I learned so much about breathing, regulation and self-soothing and the integrated effects it all had on my overall health. Every session was not only a wonderful experience, but taught me so much. I just returned home and I am thrilled to report that through Nicole’s guidance and what she taught me in 5 short days, has stuck and improved my sense of self in so many ways. Nicole is a spiritually lovely person and a wonder and I am only sad I could not convince Nicole to move her thriving business to my home town so I can learn with her always!!!

Nicole totally changed my life. I can’t praise her highly enough. She’s the epitome of down-to-earth, authentic, and present. She embodies the tenets of wisdom and professionalism that she imparts with positive energy, kindness, compassion, and playfulness. She’s the real deal. But shhhhh! If you shout it out from the rooftops, you won’t be able to benefit from the hidden gem that she is! (-:

I was in a car accident last year & almost died. On top of that I have had fibromyaglia since I was 17yrs old. I’ve been to many many healers across town, so when my friend suggested Nicole I was scared to try her but was willing to try anything for the pain. Not only was I wanting to stop the pain but also have a spiritual experience. Nicole is all those qualities & more!! Her voice & knowledgeable words are calming and go straight to my body and brain. My back is feeling so much better. I’m building confidence again & feeling more like a whole person. She has literally saved my body & mind.

I had been half-heartedly trying get into a deeper connection with my body for awhile but finally I got really motivated to do something about it. I did a google search and there mixed in with many main stream options was Third Eye. This looked like a great deal, almost too good to be true.

I sent an email inquiring with a few questions. I received a prompt and friendly reply answering all of my questions with just the answers I wanted to hear. I immediately confirmed that I was interested and scheduled my first session for the following week. My first class with Nicole was amazing. She really broke down not just the how’s but also the why’s in a way that made complete sense and left me wanting to learn and do more. She personalizes and guides you through self discovery so effortlessly that you don’t even realize until the session is over that you just learned like 10 new things.

Third Eye was the perfect find for someone like me who was a little intimidated. It has been 4 months since my first session with Nicole and just last week we had our 25th session together. I plan to continue practicing with her but she has also given me the confidence to explore further on my own, and when I feel discouraged she has instilled in me the wisdom to know that it’s best not to be hard on myself if it doesn’t feel right and to respect my own truth.

I feel so lucky to have found such a warm and giving person as Nicole to start this experience with. If you want to give yourself the best possible jump start to your new life you really should give Third Eye a try. You will not be sorry.
Scott R.

I’m so happy I found Nicole and Third Eye. This is by far the best therapeutic experience I have had. I have taken classes before, but never found someone who is so passionate and knowledgable coupled with an environment so peaceful and welcoming. I’m pretty new to this and wanted to make sure I had a good foundation. It’s amazing how just a tiny nuance can make such a difference. Without Nicole’s guidance, I would have continued making the wrong choices not realizing there was a better way. Additionally, I have learned so much about stress management and nutrition. It’s been great to customize the sessions based on my needs.

I highly recommend Third Eye to anyone-beginner or advanced, who wants an excellent experience with an amazing mentor!
Suzanne C.

If you’re looking for a a generic run-of-the-mill approach this is NOT the place for you. Third Eye gives a ton of meaningful direction with deep listening and all with a gentle calming energy.

I’ve been doing self-development work for over 10 years, and nothing beats my experience at Third Eye. The style feels very heart-centered and the atmosphere is decidedly homey (and beautiful). The interaction is friendly and inventive. Encouraging, and playful. Wise and humble. Spiritual but not at all woo-woo.  The stand-out person is Nicole Ulrick–I am utterly devoted and addicted to working with her. And I continue to tell friends about her.
Nina Weiner

So much of doing self work is about surrounding yourself with the right people… Those that are humble, safe, real, and dedicated to their craft. The down-to-earth approach feels like I can truly open up, share, be seen and heard, and gently walk through growth and transformation! Love it.
Lucy J.

Sessions with Nicole have opened up an entirely new world for me, I leave each session feeling great and cannot wait to return the next week. My previous experience with somatic work wasn’t clicking and I always left feeling frustrated because I knew I was not grasping it. After some research online I found Nicole and I now enjoy the best experience I have ever had! She is an amazing person – very intuitive, knowledgeable and positive. Thank you Nicole!
Lisa F.

I am new to doing my own self development, and I was stumbling and needed support. I found the sessions with Nicole to be right on point, easy to take in, easy to open up and highly educational. Nicole is a warm and knowledgeable person; her enthusiasm for her craft as a practical and accessible aspect of one’s life is contagious. Highly recommended!
Malik Sooch

I’m a 69 year old woman and since I’ve been going to Third Eye (Nicole) I feel like I have a new lease on life. Its been transformative, kind, and suddenly I was realizing so many things I had never paid attention to before .. I found myself comfortable expressing my emotions and thoughts and learning how they affect each other, and how to better understand ways to manage self-care and self acceptance. I am forever grateful.
Rita

I was afraid to launch into self work, especially somatically given I had never done anything like that before. Working with Nicole from the get-go offered a door so easy to open and on the other side, I’d begin to learn a whole new version of myself and how the entirety of me interacts – my mind, my body, my heart and soul… Also, the information was easy to understand and helped me to appreciate why each of these tools really matter.. Nicole mollified my fears and more importantly made it all feel approachable, fun, and part of my every day routine — the way it is meant to be.

Nicole has the patience, temperament, and knowledge people need in order to learn this material in a safe, knowledgeable way, with a easy understanding of the relationship of physical and mental energy. I recommend Nicole with five stars.
Soham P.

I’ve taken mediocre wellness workshops and used various online material for several years now, but I’ve never had someone explain the purpose and intent behind each of the tools that are available to our mind and body that most of us are totally unaware of.

In fact, when I had tried some of these things myself beforehand, but it just wasn’t making sense, and I was over thinking and forcing it.  I wasn’t aware of how to approach this the right way.  I needed guidance and a very safe hand to hold me through it.  But once I connected with Nicole, I was hooked. I’m already doing things I didn’t think I could do, which was scary at first, but Nicole really cares about making sure it all makes sense and is done in a safe way. She’s also been good at recognizing my individual needs and capabilities in a way that made me feel like perhaps for the first time I was truly being understood. Since I started my sessions with her, there’s been a major shift in how I manage my thoughts and hold my body throughout the day. I’m really excited about continuing to work with Nicole, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn about their mind and their body not only as a way of improving self-care but also as a way of improving your whole sense of well-being.
Bibi D.

Anyone who desires an authentic support system MUST work with Nicole! Nicole grounds her approach in the true fundamentals of self awareness — this isn’t some flashy, hip trend. Nicole shares the real principles of body, breath, and mental health as well. It’s an experience about balance overall. Since coming to Nicole, my full self as a whole as been changed for the better; her principles have made my outlook and my choices to be much better suited for me. Now, on a daily basis, I can better manage, overwhelm and stress using all of the tools and resources she has shared with me!  Thanks Nicole! If you want to do something good for yourself, study with Nicole.
Rani Gill

I always felt like I was a runaway train bulldozing through life.  Nicole taught me how to get to know myself better and not be so self judgmental, and instead explore my mind and body with curiosity and awe. This experience has been really inspiring and informative, and Nicole was also able to explain everything from a physiological standpoint in Laymans terms that I could really grasp. I highly recommend this if you really want to learn how to like yourself better!
Ginger M.

I am so grateful that I found Nicole and Third Eye. Nicole’s patience, kindness and dedication along with the boundless amount of valuable information, are the key to what has become for me a new life.

I have had an interest and a need to take better care of myself, and work on a lot of bad habits and painful past experiences that have kept me locked away. Finally I started chipping away at what became a tender version of myself underneath that was there all along. Nicole allowed me to fully express and explore myself, regardless of how vulnerable and uncomfortable it was. She wants to inform you so you are able to help yourself to become a healthier person. She is very passionate about her work, and you truly feel she cares about your well being.

I took an Energy Alignment Workshop from Nicole last Saturday. I just loved the relaxing atmosphere with a tranquil vibe. She has a peaceful and down to earth demeanor that is instantly inviting. She has created a safe and soothing space where you feel free to be honest and raw ..  and reach inside your soul to heal.  Nicole demonstrated how energy is everywhere and how it can move and change. Nicole explained about the chakras and we did some deep breathing exercises, nervous system soothing techniques, a bit of vocal toning and Qi Gong. It was quite amazing. Afterwards, I felt very centered and relaxed and yes, I did indeed feel ‘balanced’. I would recommend Nicole hands down. She is very enlightened and I am continuing to work with her on some deep knots from my past, that I am learning to slowly untangle :)
Kelly K.

Nicole is an amazing practitioner! She is extremely knowledgeable and makes me feel very comfortable & at ease, no matter what challenges and insecurities I have. I instantly felt a sense of myself that I had never explored before. The subtleties of the body became extremely apparent, and how my thoughts are shaped not only in my mind, but in my entire entity… She is truly holistic, and helps to unpack the fascinating ecosystem of being a human being.
K. G.

As a middle aged mom of two boys, I started working with Nicole with the intent of just unwinding. Little did I know that I would feel empowered and inspired at the same time. Nicole has helped me tap into my ‘unknowns’ and be willing to go beyond the boundaries of my comfort zone. I never envisioned discovering a new version of myself that had been there all along unrecognized. This experience has spilled over into my relationships and all aspects of daily life, giving me the incentive to strive for more. Each session with Nicole is an ongoing learning experience that unlocks new things and brings me a step closer to discovering the truth of who I am.
Shan

It’s amazing when you come across someone that offers real care, wisdom, patience, and a mirror that lets you have an honest look at yourself without feeling judged.  What I thought would be uncomfortable and awkward, became easy and interesting, I explored myself with curiosity and was enthusiastic about getting to know myself in a way I never had before.
Christina

Being around Nicole felt homey, comfortable and calm. I have had my walls up for a long time and have an acute level of anxiety and hostility that has made this world seem like a tough place to be.  This was the first time that I felt a gentle warmth that then started to reveal itself within me, and make me explore further to realize that the world nor myself are so bad after all.  It has gone on to show me a sense of hope and joy within my body and my mind perhaps for the first time.
Sandra N

I would never have been willing to share my personal journey through a testimonial, however, the experience has been so profound that it would be a disservice to keep it to myself. I was dealing with a lot of blocks in my body and in my heart… I had chronic pain and chronic unhappiness. This experience with Nicole help me to understand their relationship with one another, and how I can gently nurture these difficult feelings to transform them into a source of learning, growth and self discovery hat has since made me live life in a brand new way… Forever grateful
Emily Douglas

When starting sessions with Nicole, I felt like I instantly found a friend that I had never thought would exist. I don’t necessarily mean this only about Nicole, but I also mean it about myself. I have spent a bulk of my life struggling with a negative self image and felt estranged from my body. It was screaming at me to pay attention, but I was muted and numb. Eventually, it just became unbearable and I was brave but scared and willing to start listening. I found Nicole, and since then have dived into a sense of self knowing that has transformed not only how I see myself, but how I see everyone else… Instead of over thinking and spiraling in thoughts, I began to ‘think’ through my body and realized there are so many beautiful languages that come from the neck down.
Julie Hassett

I have had the pleasure of teaching several different Thai Yoga Massage workshops Third Eye. I have to say that the most noteworthy quality was the people that showed up who had been working with Nicole all seemed to be truly uplifted, open and curious about learning more regarding self-care and nurturing. She has cultivated a community with her essence of being real, authentic, gentle and kind, and it is reflected amongst her clients.
Deon de Wet

I have worked with Nicole for a long time now. I didn’t think much would come of this but… I was wrong.  At first I thought it would be just some interesting experience that I could apply here and there, however, the things I have learned have become the center of my life, and the way I now relate to the sensations in my body and the depth of my mind, all of which I had ignored beforehand. Being a human has become an all inspiring exploration on all levels.  The hard stuff, the easy stuff, and the abundance of resources that we have available within ourselves.
Edward C.

At first I thought I simply needed a little support to get me through some difficult moments I was dealing with. Low and behold, Nicole helped me to recognize the context from my backstory and behaviors, and the disconnect with my body, all of which had led to a much deeper rooted situation than I could have imagined. At first, I was overwhelmed when I started to see it all for what it really was. But soon after, I felt relief finally understanding the truth about myself that I had neglected too long. We have since started a wonderful journey through my body and soul, which has led me into some incredible places.
Marla S.

I now wonder how was it ever possible that I lived life not having a real relationship with my body? I walk by people and wonder how well if at all, they know themselves. Nicole invited me to take an honest look at some things that I had dismissed, that help me to understand why I was dealing with certain health issues and difficult relationship patterns. I have since listened deeply, and have had the courage to explore the entirety of myself from the outside in and from the inside out, and I am realizing that this is a wonderful journey forever
Leah T.

Taking the leap into self work felt really uncomfortable at first. Self-help feels trendy and sometimes gimmicky, but I was wrong to so quickly conclude that it would all be like this. Working with Nicole was almost overwhelming in how wrong I was to make such quick assumptions, because I was then realizing so much about myself that I had never paid attention to. It really takes finding the right resources to do this type of work in a healthy way, and that for me that is Nicole. She is patient and passionate, and has given me the space to explore and share. She has provided tools and knowledge to feel comfortable doing such intimate work. During my sessions, Nicole helped me to find the balance of effort and ease as I slowly moved forward, which I found to be a perfect balance.

Leslie K.

I’m so grateful to have found Nicole. She’s a great person and has really helped me. I can tell I’m getting better and some uncomfortable sensations in my body have subsided. More importantly I have started to take a better look at myself as a person overall, and how I can continue to become the best version of myself. She has helped me realize that it is possible, and that it takes much more than just willpower… It takes patience, grace, self acceptance, and a commitment to continue the journey.  I recommend her to everyone!
Henry J.

I was skeptical at first, because I felt too lost and too hopeless to believe there would be a chance to make it out and move forward. I threw caution to the wind and shared some things that I had never shared before, because I quickly felt a hint of trust and truth that I may not have ever felt around a stranger before. Nicole held space for me to unlock and unpack many blocks within myself, most of which were not just in my thoughts, but also in my body. I have since become a true believer that anything is possible!
David P.

I went to Third Eye Yoga to re-ground myself in the basic tenets of wellness, and I came away feeling alive for the first time in over 20 years. What I found in Nicole was a supportive, deeply informed person. She was patient and attentive to all my questions, no matter how small. She has so much information to share and help you learn about yourself.

Nicole really took the time to delve into the dimensions of the mental, spiritual, physical and emotional aspects. I’m grateful to her and for taking the time to help people really grasp the “why,” the “how,” and their own rhythms. In this busy life, it’s so important to still find the moments that can enrich us in many ways and take the time needed to learn a concept well – Third Eye helps those lessons land. Thanks, Nicole!!
Nique M.

I’d only tried working with a coach once or twice and a therapist here and there. I didn’t think much would come of it. I started to feel really tight inside on every level, like I was shutting down. I didn’t know where to begin, except to find help. When I connected with Nicole, I immediately felt a sense of peace and assurance. She is extremely versed in her material, attentive, and has a warm personality to go along with it. She shared so many useful things with me and also why we do it, why it’s necessary to breath correctly, the importance of ‘balance’, and general ways to look at life in general. Now I lead with my heart. :)
Scottie R.

Aa a typical dude, I wasn’t very open to this type of work however, perhaps I did have a sense that there was something I needed to explore. Thankfully I did because this has been one of the most personal and transformative experiences ever. I have gotten to know myself, and have for the first time, looked at the sources of some hard feelings, both physically and mentally, and have slowly gained self trust in knowing that eventually I will get there. Nicole helps me to learn all of the tremendous resources that we have available within ourselves. I feel like I have barely scratched the surface, but in a way that’s exciting because that means there is so much more for me to learn.
Vitaliy M.

Nicole is top-rate. I decided to give her a try even though I was really intimidated and reluctant. She was reassuring, and I felt that she ‘saw’ me right away. She broke everything down into small steps so I didn’t feel overwhelmed and explained everything in a way that felt natural and real. She gave me the confidence to forge ahead. She is kind, encouraging and shared both the science and purpose of all that we covered in a way anyone can understand. I give her top marks.
Joyce B.

After two years of working with Nicole, I feel like this is the first time I am truly myself. I have gotten out of my head and into my body, and then revisited my mind in a more loving way. I credit this largely to Nicole’s honest, attentive and interactive style. As a person just trying to figure it all out just like we all are I can say that everything I’ve learned with Nicole has helped me to release the pressure and move through life with a gentler more peaceful tone
Maya M.

I am now equipped with a sense of self-acceptance and understanding about my emotions and my mind in a way where I am no longer so hard on myself. I incorporate not just my mind, but also my body into my routine of self maintenance and preservation  Not a day goes by that I don’t recall Nicole’s healthy directions to improve mind & body as a balanced unit. Her motivation, knowledge & positive attitude is instantly catching. I leave each sessions feeling thoughtful, inspired & looking forward to the next. Kind thanks Nicole….
Steph P.

I cannot speak highly enough of Nicole! I’ve been introduced to a new way of thinking and feeling and many untapped dimensions that I was hiding behind, she is a wonderful instructor; her passion and knowledge is infectious and I look forward to every session. Highly recommended!
Philippa H.

I highly recommend Third Eye. I was brand new to this type of work and had a lot of doubts and reservations.  I have been disappointed many times in the past and felt misunderstood and disconnected to my body. I have since learned so much about how to treat myself with more kindness and nurture my body with more patience! Nicole is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated. She is a great inspiration and clearly explains the importance of how everything relates and is connected. Thank you Nicole!
Amy H.

I had just recently moved and was looking for a a way to feel grounded. Restarting is really hard and I felt disoriented and overwhelmed. When I heard about Nicole and Thirdeye, I called and just a phone call alone calm to my nervous system. Since I begin sessions with her, I instantly felt more at ease and less anxious about being in an unfamiliar chapter in life… In fact, I started to feel enthusiastic. For the first time I’ve noticed sensations in my body that I may have thought were anxiety, but we’re actually sensations of joy and excitement about new things ahead.  She is very real and brilliant with a great understanding of the mind body connection.
Amy Z.

I was a stranger to myself. My life had been overloaded with so many losses and major shifts. I felt lonely and heavy in my body. I also had a lot of physical issues including bad knees, bulging discs in my neck, an achey shoulder, etc.  Through my time with Nicole, I learned about the connection between my body’s sensations, life events, my past, and my thought patterns .. and even though it sounds like a long list, she made it easy to just turn one page at a time and do it with curiosity.  I have since felt ready to live life with a new sense of self!
Jackie P.

Nicole can explain things that would normally be complex or out of scope in a way that makes so much sense and has given me incentive to truly invest in myself. I didn’t realize how much there was to learn about myself and even though it has involved so much more than I would have imagined, I have eased into self exploration with grace and patience. For the first time, I have explored more about who I am starting with my body, rather than with my ruminating thoughts. It has been a way from the outside in, that then shifted my mindset to eventually sync up with my body in a healthier and more holistic way.
Katie S.

I was averse to seeking help and admitting to myself that I really needed some guidance and support. After years of struggling with a high level of stress and many life transitions, I finally felt that if I didn’t get the right help now, I may never figure out how to move past this. Then I met Nicole at Thirdeye and she has been so supportive and patient and I found myself examining myself in a totally new way. I have finally noticed that my body was craving my attention, and there were so many subtle signals that it had been communicating that I always ignored. Over time I have learned about a better way to connect with myself with patience and even playfulness. This entire journey flipped around to then become an uplifting adventure. She has set me on the right path forward.
Mark Aka Socks

Once upon a time, I was a person like many of us that was numbed out and pretended to be someone that the world accepted even though inside, I felt completely off. I had many physical ailments that were a mystery and ongoing cruel thoughts. I started to feel that this was all just normal. Fortunately, and in the nick of time, I started working with Nicole who has supported me through what would’ve been an impossible journey on my own.  Her patience and wisdom, along with her very obvious love for her craft have been a breath of fresh air.
Lynda C.

Okay, so this is hard to admit, but well, isn’t that the point of this type of work? I thought I knew myself and thought I had all the boxes checked, but truthfully, I was really struggling inside, and every day felt like a big weight and a façade. I was burnt out trying to keep up with a life I created but never wanted.  I was constantly sick and had weird body issues and pain that were persistent. Enough is enough. I reached out and eventually found Nicole who held space for me to feel a genuine sense of encouragement and comfort that allowed me to slowly reframe and re-engage with myself on every level. Just when I think I figured it all out, I continue to realize that I never will and that’s OK. As long as I am kind and patient with myself, I can move with life’s changes.
